# 1 Install

After installing package `devtools`, the package `prospect` can be installed with the following command line in R session:

```

devtools::install_github("jbferet/prospect")

```

**WARNING : ** **many functions have been renamed in v2.0 of the package.**

**The documentation has been updated accordingly.**

**Please refer to the documentation for additional information.**

# 2 Tutorial

A tutorial vignette is available [here](https://jbferet.gitlab.io/prospect/articles/prospect1.html).
